Looking really good Volkdent! :agree: :agree:
If you don't mind my asking what are you using for the actual moving parts at the A-arm pivot points (or rather what kind of bushing materials)?
I've got a set of Chassisshop A-arms I'm using for my own conversion project and they use a type of plastic bushing material (that rides agains a steel sleeve that the inner bolt tightens up against) that is claimed not to need any lubrication. But these arms are also made for drag racing, not necessarily a whole lot of road mileage. I don't like the slightly loose fit between bushing and steel, I'm brainstorming an alternative.

Thanks Pete, I guess I'm going to have to put pics on the samba or something.

GS Guy, the bushings are from Energy Suspension, they are graphite impregnated polyurethane. They are designed for the eyelets of rear leaf springs, but work perfectly for this application. They actually squeeze the pivot, so their is no sloppiness at all. To the contrary, it is actually stiff to move the arms up and down.
